CHAPTER 15 –

Later in the evening, Harry, Hermione, and Susan disappeared to a resort three islands away. When they arrived the front desk checked them in and guided them to an exclusive bungalow close to a little cove and more private. They had their own private beach, a pool and hot tub. Harry had surprised the girls because he had found this resort last year and knew it was the perfect place for a little honeymoon spot.

Hermione looked around and was totally shocked at how perfect, private, and romantic it was. Hermione turned to Harry "You completely shocked me on this. I never knew you were so romantic, this is absolutely perfect."

Harry smiled "I am glad you like it. I saw it last year and immediately thought of you and Susan for a quiet getaway. It occurred to me it would make a better Honeymoon present for both of you." Harry looked at her and grinned "I imagined that it could coax you to run around nude the entire time."

Hermione smiled at him "Oh did you now." She placed her hands on her hips and gave him a wanton look "Would that be a request or an order my husband?"

Harry smirked to stand looking at her he immediately saw a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. It was curious as Hermione spent most of her time assured and assertive. Harry watched her and saw that she was uncertain in how to lead up to this. Harry decided to play upon her fear and heighten this experience for her.

Harry slowly walked over to her and Hermione's tension rose as each step brought him closer. He placed his hands behind his back and as he grew closer he began looking at varying parts of her body and Hermione's tension increased as her breath hitched at his obvious appraisal of her. Harry closed within inches of her and then turned suddenly before he marched quietly to her side and then behind her. She heard him stop behind her and then jumped slightly as she felt the light contact of his hand on her forearm.

She felt his warm breath on her neck just below her ear as he whispered in her ear "If I had my choice I would strip you naked and bend you over that table and take your womanhood from you. It belongs to me anyway." Hermione shivered as his breathe and light touch and the additional vibration of his magic was causing ripples of sensation across her skin and body.

Harry lifted his other hand in front of her face and she watched the fingers come rise to her view in fascination. He quickly snapped his fingers and made her clothes disappear. The magic he used cascaded and caressed her bared skin making her shiver. She closed her eyes and raised her arms to cover herself feeling very vulnerable which only heightened her awareness of how naked she was.

Harry, from behind, caught her arms and gentle lowered them back to her side. He whispered softly as he nibbled on her ear "You are mine now Mione. You have a beautiful body that makes me desire you. Don't ever cover it because your vows gave me permission to look." He softly made his way down her neck and Hermione moaned loudly as her breathing began to increase. Hermione's insides were quivering from his attention.

Harry stepped in front of her as he traced his finger around her waist and around to her belly button. Hermione's eyes opened suddenly and without warning she pounced on him and wrapped on arm around his neck as her lips smashed into him. Harry slowly with precise movements moved his hand down towards her nether region. Hermione moaned as her desire escalated higher than they had before. They had always stopped before this point and tonight she realized they would continue and she was running to jump off that cliff.

She felt a clenching within belly and then cried out as Harry's finger reached her sensitive nub. Without warning she released and her magic pulsed in a wave. Harry wrapped an arm around her waist as her legs gave out on her.

Harry let her enjoy the sensation for a minute before she opened her eyes and through half lidded eyes stated "Potter, that is the most intense and erotic thing I have ever felt in my life and I can only imagine what it will be like in our bed."

Hermione then looked over at Susan who had slowly moved towards them. Harry turned and then grabbed the back of Susan's neck and pulled her close so they could kiss. Susan held his arm and fell into him as she began to moan too. Harry released his hold on her neck and then raised his hand and snapped his fingers and her clothes disappeared. He looked into her eyes "You are not allowed to wear any clothes at all this week unless I give you permission." Susan gave a little shudder at the command.

"Yes, my lord." She answered.

Harry turned to Hermione "For this week you will not be allowed to wear clothes."

Hermione looked at him "What about the beach?"

Harry smirked it is a private beach and if anybody does see you they will instantly be envious of me because I will have the most beautiful women on the planet with me."

Hermione smiled "I can live with that after that compliment."

Harry stepped back "I think you two should undress me."

CHAPTER 16

In the three year period the trio had left Hogwarts, magical Britain had not remained silent to trying to lure them back. At the start of what would have been the third year they had news from Amelia that Harry's Godfather Sirius Black had escaped Azkaban.

True to form, the minister and Headmaster had tried to force Harry back to save his godfather. Unknown to the master manipulators, Amelia with the help of the journals of James and Lilly Potter found out that Sirius was an unregistered Animagus.

Three weeks after he escaped, Amelia caught Sirius and brought him to her home to hide him. Sirius was scared until Amelia explained what she knew from the information Harry provided. She then proceeded to administer truth serum with Nymphadora Tonks as a witness. Low and behold it was found out that not only was Sirius not their secret keeper but that Albus Dumbledore had known this because he cast the fidelus charm.

Amelia worked at getting Peter Pettigrew who Sirius saw in a paper that Fudge left in his cell on a visit. Auror Tonks infiltrated Hogwarts and metamorphed to look like Ron and captured the real traitor. Under Truth serum Pettigrew confessed to betraying James and Lilly Potter, killing the thirteen muggles, and then escaping by entering the drain after he cut off his finger.

The Minister before finding this out had publically announced that Sirius Black was to be kissed upon sight. When three weeks later Amelia brought the evidence to him, the minister and Albus Dumbledore tried to ignore it and kept the kiss on sight order active.

Harry was incensed and wrote articles to the Daily prophet and provided the Potter's journals to what was the real truth and proceeded to reveal the lies that the minister was trying to hide. Rita Skeeter, although no friend to Harry, did love the scandal it caused to high ranking Ministry officials and the public embarrassment it caused for the esteemed Headmaster.

Within days, because the Wizgenmont members were asking questions, The Minister recalled the order and publically asked for Sirius to turn himself in and guaranteed his protection. Amelia was not taking chances and schedule Sirius's trial the same morning he turned himself in to her. He was brought to the court room and found not guilty in a thirty minute trial. Albus Dumbledore was publically embarrassed and by a very narrow margin barely kept his position as the Chief Warlock.

Peter Pettigrew was sentenced to the veil and both Remus Lupin and Sirius were allowed to watch. The news that reached Harry was very satisfying.

The following year, what would have been Harry's fourth year, the triwizard's tournament was announced. In late October a very concerned email from Sirius and Amelia let him know that his name had come out of the cup. Again Harry was amazed at the lengths that Albus Dumbledore went to lure him back to Britain.

Hermione wrote Rita Skeeter and provided an article of the many ways why there had been no magical contract created by Harry's name coming out of the cup. Harry in fact was in no danger of losing his magic and would in no way come back to Britain under any circumstances to join in there silly little tournament.

Hermione went on in the article to explain that the person who did place Harry's name in the cup bore the responsibility of the magical contract created. If Harry did participate it would have been in proxy for that person and not for himself, magic was not so easily fooled and would know who that person was. The staff member who lost their magic the day after for not participating in the first task would be the culprit and should be arrested.

The day of the first task a grumpy Alastair Moody was forced to enter the contestant's tent and announce that he was forced by magic to participate. The Triwizard contestant board had changed to read Bartemus Crouch Jr and not Harry Potter. The fake Moody was arrested on the spot and when his magic failed because he was not allowed to participate, the poly juice potion failed too. In front of the entire school and the tournament officials Bartemus crouch jr. was revealed.

His father was arrested as it was found out that he had helped him to escape from jail.

Rita Skeeter, of her own accord, wrote a scathing article decrying the corruption that was rampant within the ministry. Her most blasting remarks were for Cornelius Fudge and Albus Dumbledore. As she pointed out in her article how could such a revered Wizard as Headmaster Dumbledore miss that his lifelong friend was an imposter?"

Albus did not survive the Wizgenmont review of the entire incident and his Chief Warlock Position and his Supreme Mugwump position in the ICW were lost. Albus did survive the School Boards review but only by one vote.

Amelia and Sirius decided that Albus Dumbledore could not stop and that the best way to stop his manipulations was with the truth. Harry had flooed to the Ministry, specifically to Amelia's office and taken to the department of mystery. There Amelia took him to the hall of prophesy and he retrieved the prophesy that Sirius had known about.

After two weeks of heavy thought it was decided to reveal the full contents of the prophesy to Rita Skeeter and magical Britain. Harry wrote these articles himself and very quickly explained his position in relation to the prophesy. He began with a one page article of his life at privet drive under the care of the Dursley's. He revealed his parent's will and how Albus Dumbledore had manipulated the entire guardianship to place him where his parents specifically forbade him to go.

He covered his first few years of life at the Dursley's under their care. His deprivation of the basics such food, clothing and even blankets for the many cold nights he spent in a cupboard under the stairs. He reminded people in the article what Albus had stated when asked why he never checked on Harry his answer was he was always too busy.

Whatever the backlash was to be it was made worse when Harry revealed the entire prophesy in his next article. He explained that the tri-wizard tournament was most likely a plot by Lord Voldemort's followers to resurrect him. Barty Crouch Jr. was already proven to be a marked death eater. Under truth serum Barty had revealed how a death Eater received their mark. The entire ceremony and acts required the person to receive the mark to be a willing participant.

If the magical people were so easily fooled to believe that anybody who carried the mark of Lord Voldemort was imperiused when evidence to the contrary was already provided and with the prophesy out their proving that Lord Voldemort was waiting to come back, then Harry was receiving the training he would need outside of Britain.

Harry affirmatively asserted if Lord Voldemort came back it was not his concern. If Magical Britain is unwilling to clean up their act, then it was ridiculas to expect a fourteen year old kid to do it for them. As he saw it he had no need to come back to a country that had forced him into abuse, decried him as evil when it suited their purposes, and allowed murders and rapist to wander free.

The backlash to the Ministry was enormous. Harry had brought to light many of the magical society's ills and made people take notice. Many were starting to question. 10% of the students at Hogwarts transferred to other schools. More moved to other countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia.

It was right after the three returned to Japan and resumed training that it was found out that Voldemort had led an attack on Diagon ally. Far too many people had seen or witnessed the attack for magical Britain to deny he was back.

Voldemort had twenty followers with him and a Prophet Photographer had captured Lord Voldemort in the act of killing a child and his mother. Magical Britain was in chaos. Their hero and their savior had been mistreated and refused to return to save them. Cries were heard throughout the country as their fears came to light.

Cornelius Fudge tried in his own way to begin a campaign to rid the world of Voldemort. He started with some less connected Death Eaters and brought them to trial. He did get convictions but the resulting ten deaths of Muggleborn and the resulting threats against others, if the trials did not stop, caused a pause in justice being served. It was one week later that a death eater attack was mounted on Fudge's home. The Minister was almost killed five minutes after the Death Eaters arrived and then crawled back into their hole after their failure.

Harry was bothered by all of this and at night he separated from the girls to ponder and think about what he should do. He knew he was no coward but the knowledge that he probable was the only one that could rid the world of the dark lord weighed heavily on him.

After a week Hermione and Susan could take it no longer and confronted him. It was Susan that got his attention "You are not cowardly if you choose to get training, instead of a direct confrontation when you are not prepared."

Hermione stepped forward "When do you want to start engaging the death eaters?" she looked down with a frown "Harry I know this is tearing you up inside. You need something to do and we are not without some resources to counter the death eater's threats. Perhaps some small scale mission to let them know they can be hurt too is not such a bad idea." She told him.

Harry looked up "Hermione I know but if either of you are hurt or killed it would kill me. I cannot do this by myself that is just stupid. You are the best two to go with me but it scares me that you could be hurt." Hermione and Susan flew to hug Harry on either side.

Susan grinned "Good, then you shall be extra cautious and careful in your planning because the thought of you getting hurt or killed…"

Hermione finished "Has worried us to no end." Harry chuckled at their concerns.

Harry contacted Amelia via her email and began to get a picture of the patterns the Death eaters were using to raid and cause destruction. Sirius offered to help with checking out the various locations for them to enter and exit.

Within in a month, after Master Koiji worked on their stealth techniques, He considered them ready. Lucius, because of the oath he had been forced to give, had reported that Saturday night a group of five death eaters had planned a raid on a southern magical area called Norwalk. It was a very small hamlet on the southern tip of the country. Sirius checked it out and found an appropriate roof top that could be easily monitored and a good hiding spot for Hermione to watch for traps.

On the night before Harry flashed there and looked around. His method of travel did not require an apparition point so he flashed to a place about one kilometer away. When he arrived the town was very quiet. It had only one pub and it looked like it was the only business opened. Harry flashed into the rest room and disillusioned himself before entering the main room.

He watched for twenty minutes and became familiar with the faces he was seeing. He had hoped that tomorrow night a new face would show and lead to how the death eaters would arrive. He left and felt good that their plan would work with minimal risks.

The next evening they arrive an hour early and set up on top of the Pub's roof. Harry had confirmed their communication watches for the third time when he flashed to the restroom and entered the pub disillusioned. He scanned the crowd and only noted two people that were not there last night. Nothing else seemed out of place.

Hermione called him and let him know that five men had walked into the town from the north. One had a mask hanging from his cloak that she recognized instantly as a death eater mask.

Harry made his way to the rest room and flashed back to the roof. Three were looking into the pub while two went forward to another business across the street. All placed their mask on. Harry watched as two appeared on the roof and decided that those would be the first taken out as they were the over watch for the activities the others did below.

Harry tapped Susan and they both flashed directly behind the death eaters. The two men tried to turn but a dagger and a sai stopped them. They allowed the two to sink softly to the rooftop.

The three below began to cast spells in to the Pub and into other businesses in the immediate area. Hermione as soon as they started to cast let loose an arrow and caught one in the throat and he fell to the ground with a loud thump.

This caught the attention of the other two guys who turned and looked at their companion. They crouched lower and looked for where the threat was located. Before they could do or say anything, the leader fell down with an arrow protruding from his chest. Harry took the last one out by flashing next to him and thrusting his sword forward just as he landed.

The man looked at him with scared eyes and then his eyes dimmed. Harry pushed him off of his sword and then stuck a card on his forehead that stated

"British Preservation Society.

We care about our environment

Because people matter."

Hermione came down from the roof as Susan pushed the other two death eaters from the roof and they made a dull thump on the ground. They carefully checked each forearm and left them exposed so everyone could see that they were death eaters.

The three then flashed back to their home in Japan. They changed clothes and went to the hot tub that Harry had installed a few years back. They were all very quiet and contemplative for many minutes. Harry spoke first "I feel satisfied that we accomplished something and kept the streets safer."

Hermione spoke next "Susan why the British Preservation society?"

Susan just smiled "I think some group should take credit for what is accomplished. I did not want it directly tied to us and I believe in what my aunt said that people won't really care until their affected or because others lead them to care." Susan leaned back "Tonight we started giving people a reason to care because we led them to it."

Hermione still asked "Ok, I got that but why that particular name?"

Susan chuckled "Because we are preserving British lives and it will confuse the Death Eaters as it is a muggle nature club."

Harry scooted closer to her "Susan you have been a very naughty girl tonight."

Susan's smile got bigger "I have master. I most definitely have. I should be punished severely."

Hermione grinned as she scooted closer from the other side "You most definitely have."

Susan reached out and wrapped her arms around their waists "I just hate it when I am this bad." Harry and Hermione just laughed as they converged on her.
